Fashion Friday: How to Spot a Fake Louis Vuitton Purse

I love Fashion but I hate paying tons of money to look great. I believe you need two things the knowledge of what looks good on you and the skill to find it for less. I encourage you to get rid of all the items in your closet that you do not wear. They cloud up your options to make really great outfits because you can’t see your clothes! If they are in good condition sell the at a consignment store or a place like Plato’s closet, or host a clothing swap. Clothing swaps are a blast!

Okay, Last week we talked about the wallet. How do you spot a fake Louis Vuitton Wallet. I think it is important to also know how to spot a fake Louise Vuitton Purse. This is a huge problem and it runs rampant on eBay and in the streets of most big cities. I also know if you save up and buy an item you want to get the real deal.

Here are a couple of hints

After I closely examined two almost identical Louis Vuitton bags, I was able to clearly identify the original bag and the fake bag. Here are some of the things that I was able to distinguish in an original bag that are not in the fake bag despite them being in a similar color. There are many ways to identify a fake Louis Vuitton bag. One of these ways is by looking at the interior of the bag. Most manufactures of the fake Louis Vuitton bags are not cautious enough to replicate the interior of the bag. An original Louis Vuitton bag’s interior is made of fine micro monogram textile, microfiber suede, canvas lining that is red or honey, tone on tone polyester or cross-grain leather. If you come across a bag that does not contain any of these features, be assured that it is a fake bag.

The stitching of the bags is also a good way to identify a fake bag. All original bags have even, smooth and straight stitches throughout the bag. You can easily identify this by touching the stitches, if you note that the stitches are coarse and uneven, that is a fake bag. The logo L V can also be used to identify a fake Louis Vuitton bag. The logo of an authentic bag is symmetrical on the bag unlike the fake bags that may have the logo off the center. Genuine Louis Vuitton purses are made from a similar material and will therefore have upside down logos. The fake bags will have well aligned logos throughout the bag. The pulls and zippers of authentic Louis Vuitton bags are made of brass and contain the LV logo. A fake one will not have these features. The easiest way to tell a fake from the real Authentic Louis Vuitton Bag is the texture and smell of the bag. Louis Vuitton does not use plastic.
